Where I live, it costs $40 for synthetic string and labour, and $65 for poly string and labour.
Now you can see that even if I am suited to poly, it is just not feasible to replace my string every 10 hours. That is $6.50 per hour just for strings.
So my question is, how can I play with poly in the most cost effective way? Which polys last the longest? If I blend a poly with a synthetic gut will it last longer?
Here are the prices for restringing if you care to look at the options:
